The annual APR report brought a good -- if slight -- uptick for men's hoops. (USATSI)

The NCAA released on Wednesday afternoon its massive annual report on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores across all of its sanctioned sports. These scores summarize the end of the 2013-14 academic year.

Men's basketball was one of the sports with a "notable" uptick in APR scores across the board. The APR measures schools on a year-by-year basis, but also two- and four-year aggregate scores. It's the two- and four-year scores that determine a program's eligibility for the postseason and overall standing.

Per the NCAA's report, the overall four-year APR average for all sports sits at 978 (out of 1,000). Men's basketball's average is now at 961, up from 957 a year ago. Football, which also jumped, went from a 951 to a 956 average. Women's basketball remains near the overall mean, this year coming in with a four-year APR average of 975.

Four men's hoops teams failed to graduate enough players/meet APR standards, and so those institutions will not be able to play in any postseason games in 2016. Overall, 21 NCAA programs will not be able to play in the postseason next year, a number cut exactly in half from the 42 banned teams a year ago.

The NCAA's searchable database of APR scores can be found here.

As for the best of the best, there are 16 programs who've been flawless over the past four years. Here are the schools currently at a perfect 1,000 multi-year APR average. The Pac-12 performed better than any conference at the top, totaling three teams with a perfect score:
